DIY Storage Ladder cleanandscentsible Don't pay the high price when you can totally make this DIY Storage Ladder yourself by following this easy step by step tutorial by Clean and Scentsible. This simple DIY version came in at around $30. If you wanted more storage baskets, it would obviously cost a little more, but still way cheaper than the $530 inspiration! This is a great idea and it looks really good. I wouldn’t have come up with the idea of using a ladder for storage, but it opens up a world of possibilities. 2. DIY Rolling Storage Crate tealandlime Transform a wooden crate by adding some paint, rolling casters, and hardware to create a DIY Rolling Storage Crate! Make organizing simple and beautiful with this easy and simple DIY tutorial from Teal and Lime. What a great solution to declutter and get organized. And it’s made from affordable crates, what could be better than that? 3. Storage Ottoman DIY monmakesthings I have been dreaming about a nice ottoman that would have the perfect amount of storage. Make your own DIY upholstered storage ottoman. The step by step tutorial and plans show you how to build an ottoman with basic tools and how to cover an ottoman in fabric. I love the storage capacity on this DIY build and the fact that it’s on casters make it extra special. 4. DIY Crate Cabinet with Sliding Drawers virginiasweetpea This DIY tutorial will show you how to build a quick and easy yet strong and beautiful DIY Crate Cabinet with Sliding Drawers. You can utilize this drawer a million ways, the possibilities are endless. My son loves those storage crates–aside from being practical, he just likes the look of them. He uses three of them stacked on one another as bookshelves in his room. I think he would really like this piece and making it would be a great woodworking project for him. 5. DIY Shoe Storage Bench thatsmyletter These crates corral and contain all the shoes, hats, gloves and mudroom accessories plus the bench provides a generous spot to sit while putting on those shoes. The shoe storage bench fits just inside our back-door mudroom area. You could adjust these plans for a shorter bench, maybe your space will accommodate just two or three crates and that would be perfect. 6. Hidden Key Storage planq-studio Do you always lose your keys? To be quite honest, I used to lose my keys all the time because I didn't have a proper place for them to live. I've seen all types of systems, but I think I like the hanging system the best. Keys in a bowl tend to get tangled up with other stuff, which makes them easy targets to get lost in a junk pile. With this organization system from Planq-studio, the keys are cleverly hidden at the back of an artwork. You won’t see it in plain sight especially when the front entry is the first impression of the home. 7. Wonderful DIY Storage Tote from Cardboard wonderfuldiy Transform plain cardboard boxes into elegant and useful storage bins. Great for organizing the closet or fill it with party favors! They are perfect for stashing all sorts of supplies, tools, and odds and ends. I'm totally going to make some of those boxes. All the more reasons to keep those diaper boxes. I just love thrifty crafts! 8. DIY Antique Window Bathroom Cabinet craftsmandrive Add much needed storage to a typical empty space in a bathroom with this DIY Antique Window Bathroom Cabinet from Craftsman Drive. This DIY window cabinet is a super easy build and it creates additional storage for your bathroom, something that you can never have enough of. I really love the outcome – it’s rustic and well-made.

This Wood Caddy with Rope Handles for the Bathroom is super fabulous and looks like something I could totally do! Love the addition of the rope handles and I’m a big fan of nautical themes.
